Cassie, an "independent" 8-month old - Los Angeles Children's Photographer

As I meet children of all ages nowadays, I can't ignore the impression that they appear to be a lot smarter at a much earlier age.  Of course, since I used myself as a reference when I was little, the reference could be less representative of the generation that I belong to. :-)

Then I met Cassie, the girl that just came to this world 8 months ago.  She totally blew me out of water.

Here's this little one that seems to be in her own zone, not bothered by the people, kids (mind you, the drama and the noise), or the dogs.  From a "looking down" kind of perspective as an adult (but who am I here to judge if she was already much smarter than I was), it seems that she's got the little engine churning in her head to process information that's only relevant to her.  I mean, how impressive is that when all you see from her face is calmness, at an age of 8 months...

... until her mom leaves the room.  A kid finally looks like a kid!  Agh...  A big relief, for me.  I still have hope... :-)

The Canvas Thin Wrap Print Has Arrived for Chloe!

Remember Chloe, the little lady that just turned one-year-old two months ago?  The canvas print has arrived!  I loved the vivid colors that came through the nicely wrapped canvas.  I can't wait to see the reaction from her mom and dad.  In fact, I'm so excited that I wanted to share some photos of the product online.  And I hope I'm not stealing the thrill from her parents. :p

As some of you are probably familiar with the standard canvas and gallery wraps (in the line of canvas products) already, thin-wrap is a new type.  With the thin edge and the block mount in the back, it provides a feel of floated picture on the wall.  Because of the home decor of the family, I thought thin-wrap would look really nice.

In  case you are wondering about the trivial details, a satin laminate was applied to protect the surface from scratches and makes cleaning really easy.

Here are the front, side and back views of this canvas print!  Look forward to your comments/feedback or questions!

Meet Sophie, the lucky baby! - Los Angeles Children's Photographer

Sophie is a 11-month old (big) baby!  And lucky for her, she has a brother that loves her.  You can tell that Sophie loves all her little heart back.  See the bright smile?  That's when Jason enters the room.

Sophie loves to play.  And with her brother on her side, it's more fun!   As for me, it's fun to try to figure out what's going on internally with this little one that doesn't speak the language that we understand yet.  Here it goes:

Sophie: "What do I do with this?  Man, this is hard for my little head."

Sophie: "Oh, good, brother on scene.  But wait, wait, I'm still in charge here, OK?"

Sophie: " Umm... I think I need to take some ownership here.  Remember, I'm the one in charge."

Sophie: "I've got the ball rolling.  My brother can take it from here."

Haha, I wish, one day, I can ask her if that's really what she was thinking, when she does speak "our language".  For now, let's enjoy the company of little Sophie, the lucky, brightly smiled 11-month old!
